Abstract:
This program analytically and experimentally investigates the design and thermostructural performance of integrated ablativeradiative thermal protection systems in two phases CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND FULL-SCALE PANEL DEVELOPMENT. In Phase I, the program includes the investigation, analysis, and test of sub-scale specimens and various design concepts to determine design values for the full-scale panels and leading edges. Phase II covers the design and fabrication of large-scale lower surface ablative panels and leading edges for integration on the AFFDL Hypersonic Aerospace Test Structure HATS. A vehicle configuration, the FDL-5A, is furnished by the Air Force to serve as a basepoint for the analytical and experimental phases of the program. Author, modified-PL
